Street cricket or gully cricket is a stripped-down version of the sport of cricket, popular across the Indian subcontinent and in other cricket-playing nations. Basically any public and private space like a veranda, a deserted bungalow or a narrow "gully" or a balcony is taken over for the purposes of the sport much to the chagrin of aunties whose windows routinely shatter when a ball flies through.

One random member from each team stand at a distance facing each other, one of the member takes a step ahead and calls "Tip" and then the member from the other team does the same and calls "Top".

Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code also used in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has become a slang reference for a fraudulent trickster. Such criminals are called 420 in popular culture in those countries. The section deals with the cases of cheating and awards punishment of fine and/or jail up to 7 years.

The Penal Codes of both countries are inherited from the Indian Penal Code of 1860 instituted by the colonial government of the British India. A popular 1955 Hindi film from India, Mr. 420 has a central character who, though innocent, is regarded by many as a con man.
